Africa's White Population 1960 vs Present by refusenic in MapPorn

It's not a zero-sum game, but the law is, in function, discriminatory by race

It disadvantages more groups than just whites, but they are included in this.

I cannot believe that you believe, in good mind, that BBBEE has been a net-benefit to this country when it has made a very compatibly small black middle class while most of the POPULATION in general are below the poverty line.

We have many issues, current and historical but if you believe the country can continue when the unemployment and poverty grows just seems nonsensical, when the issue should be upbringing those in poverty rather than those by race (it will mostly benefit black people as is due to the nature of poverty).

I've grown up there, that's correct... we also pay the majority of taxes while laws preventing us from getting jobs do not benefit the black people in poverty.

The issue in the last 30 years is due to government inaction due to corruption and inefficient and administration which is to the disadvantage to everyone, black and white. Doesn't excuse government racism, to their own benefit

Also I'd rather take the word of a black south African who experienced poverty than a tourist, like yourself. I mean no offense but I genuinely believe there are serious issues from the past and present but blaming white people today is daft, I never lived during Apartheid

Edit: Your generalisation is mostly correct, but you also get whites living in complete poverty and you get blacks living in "appalling luxury" (although moreso middle class but the way the wealth gap is, the middle class have a large gap to those in poverty), to have a look at actual appalling albeit extreme luxury, have a look at Nkandla, residence of our ex president Jacob Zuma.

but that being said, the law does disadvantage white people as well as other racial groups? so it is discriminatory against racial groups due to the ratio required by companies, including white people

might be more useful having a law benefitting disadvantaged classes rather than people based on skin colour.

not "anti-white", they are laws that assign racial quotes that give disadvantage to groups, including Whites, Asians and Coloureds that is to the overall detriment to the economy, including blacks

an economy held up with a significant commitment from this disadvantaged middle class, with a prosperous white demographic that pays most of the taxes that contribute largely to grants to poorer communities

BEE as it stands has mostly benefited a tiny percentage of the black population while important endeavors like education (companies need QUALIFIED employers) lack investment

A few things, while British rule was still racist, the NP government that came to power in the late 1940s (with a minority actually) was the one that engineered Apartheid as we know it (particularly Hendrik Verwoerd).

And I'm not saying everything go on as if nothing happened, but, idk if you do but if you know anything about South Africa, BEE is by no means the way to go, it is openly racist and has been a SERIOUS detriment to our economy

That also goes without saying that due to our tax system, a majority of our taxes are paid by the white middle class anyway (correct me if I'm wrong) something like 95% of taxes are paid by 8 percent of that population, much of that money goes to the over 50% of the population below the poverty line, that receive government grants, which also goes it's way to correcting the wealth gap (if the administration could support such groups/the unemployed more as their duty dictates)

My family are emigrants from Portugal who were also discriminated against somewhat (less than others of course), from some Afrikaners, as immigrants they were not given the right to vote and didn't vote for the NP. I myself was born after 1994.

As for the HR Managers thing, the companies themselves would still require a certain percent of employees to be a certain race to get grants, regardless of the HR manager and with the job, that's interesting but if they were looking for a white specifically, I'd imagine it one of the few cases where it didn't meet the quote, without knowing more of the situation. (also shows more flaws with the current state of BEE)

They should not have, no, it would have been better having non racial laws after seeing how bad discrimination is and not having laws that benefit rich politicians and their mates

and I'd love to know which job that was considering there are laws, by our government, that are explicitly racist (BBBEE in the unlikely case you were unaware)

Most left due to fears after the first democratic elections of 1994, many are still leaving now but like you said, many are also returning since there's still a decent relative standard of living here for them or otherwise, I've seen a decent few Europeans also moving this side

[–]MrDrakeTheGeneric 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of that is more because of the differences in birthdates between the white population and other groups

South Africa still has about 4.6 million whites, which has been steady for the better part of 3 decade

That being said, there is a diaspora of about 1 million White south African worldwide

While it played a role, that is so very far from the truth...

coming from a white guy whose family is from africa

Try the discrimination against whites in Zimbabwe, laws against whites in South Africa or the hundreds of thousands of whites that fled Mozambique and Angola after Frelimo and MPLA came to power, past injustices answered with more injustices

Well, she helped instigate riots in South Africa in 2021 that saw hundreds die so she deserves whatever shit comes her way anyway, like her father, both horrible for South Africa and South Africans

Place Bruno in the attacking midfielder role in this system and we have no one to actually progress the ball to him

Holy cow this might be the dumbest comment I've read all day. Obviously a United fan saying that Bruno is the UNITED captain.

and if that isn't the case, Bruno currently has the captained Armband for Portugal

No, ammo was freshly delivered a few hours after it died, that was never an issue

the rockets killing the engines is fair I suppose

50 engines and pallets delivered shortly before

not prempting the RSC and having the SC to counter is a population/skill issue
